Is there any 3rd party equivalent to this? I want the smart window functionality via NFC. It would be great to know beforehand so that I have something else to choose from.

This is not "via NFC" (except for pairing), the smart window is detected with a magnet.

Ok I stand corrected. But yes, something like that.

I got a SCR42, and to be honest it's not THAT useful

I have the original case SCR42 and for me it is very functional when it comes to the window. Especially if someone is calling. Then you can see right away, and you can answer or reject the call without opening the case.
If you want to quickly take a picture, it does not need to open the case, because the preview is scaled to the window.

i bought it and don't like it. It lacks one of the main functions. there is no Access to phone book or at least speed dial/favourites and you have to open the case to make a call.
i removed it and bought panzerglass (tempered glass) + TPU and face an even bigger problem. panzerglass presses on the proximity sensor and the screen goes blacj during a call.
honestly the phone Works best without any accessorries. Save your money.

Did you make some sort of cradle?

No... It is sitting on the pad. I mounted the pad on a RAM mount diamond plate using 3M double sided adhesive tape. I then used some low compression, rubber weather stripping to form the "U" to cradle the phone. Fits like a glove and works perfect.
Total cost... 3 bucks (I already had the RAM hardware), a trip to Home Depot, and about a half hour of my time.
Looking at the pic, it's hard to tell if the power button is covered or not. If not, it looks good. Just get a nfc tag and setup everything. If it is, wouldn't it be more of a pain to get access for waking the phone up?
Just curious but excellent innovation.

The "U" comes up to just 1/4 inch below the power button, and that same clearance for the volume rocker.
I actually use a Tasker location profile so no nfc tag necessary.
Took it for its first extended test drive yesterday and it works well. Phone is very secure, and easily removed and replaced with one hand.

Would this stylus scratch the screen?

Not sure but a lot of Amazon reviews indicate that it tends to produce micro scratches, so I would weary about buying this.

Well, its not a fine tip writing one, but I use an ampen stylus for my stuff.
That's not a fine tipped stylus, there's actually a small disc on the end of it. The tip is just a ball and the disc has a socket that allows for the capacitive screen to work. I have had a mini and a pro since the transformer tf101 and I've never had a single scratch, just wipe the disc with your finger before you start using it.

I had the Jot Pro stored in some drawer in my home , so after digging and finally finding it, for the 'sake of science' I decided to take one for the team and be the Guinea pig in testing it with my Nexus 9.
I'm happy to report that the little disc on this stylus against the Gorilla-3 glass does not seem to affect in any way the surface, and I was surprised to find this tablet to be much more responsive to this particular stylus than my previous Nexus 7 tablets (both versions). Granted, I've in using this stylus only for a few minutes but results seem to remain the same over extended usage. :fingers-crossed:

Looks great!
Looks really good. Please let us know what you think about it when you get it.
I wonder if the S-view window will work with them or you need to download an app that emulates it.

Description in the EBay listing mentions needing to download an app.
yes i saw about downloading the app.i like less case
i like back cover replacement, enough to protect it without adding to the total size. leather feels better then all the plastic ones out there.
will post a review when it shows up

That's a deal breaker for me. Downloading a questionable app from a Chinese website and having it run all the time on my phone doesn't sound appealing. Plus, I am unsure whether it will even work as intended. If I'd go for a case like that, I'd pick one without the window, but that's just me.
The app wasn't really with it,but it did work. however I do like the case not a big fan of the window there was none that replaced the battery cover with no window

NFC shortcut button

Remember the good old days of qwerty keyboard phones? If yes then i'm sure you also remember the shortcut buttons that they had. Devices such as HP jornada 720, or nokia e90, they all had hardware buttons that allows you to jump directly from one application to another without forcing you to access the task manager.

However, because qwerty keyboard phones are no longer produced, those buttons will never appear again.
But there is a way.
The NFC technology allows you to program a nfc tag to launch a specific application. So what I did was to get some nfc tags, take one, cut its anthenna, and stick a button on the cut, so the tag will only be activated when I press the button.
More details on how I did it here: http://simpledevices.blogspot.ro/2015/11/nfc-shortcut-button.html
The plan is to mount a similar button to the next of the nfc tags, and place them behind the silicon case of the phone, each tag will be programmed with a specific application, just like the shortcuts of the old devices.
I bought a couple of Dimple.io buttons which work in the exact same way (and really well I might add), but until I finally got them (ungh, Kickstarter), I had customized everything to my liking with Xposed Additions and had no more use for the physical buttons
This is a good idea.

Galaxy home button excessive loosened

I replaced the display + lcd of a Galaxy A500FU.
However, the home button was not provided with the (cheap) Chinese display and I cannot understand why it is loosened, 'loose' inside its housing, it almost seems like it is missing under a spring or something that supports it,
I enclose photo.
Does it have to actually have a spring underneath?
that maybe I lost in the disassembly?
how could i solve?
maybe putting something elastic underneath to do the spring function?

Find some videos on YouTube that give a demonstration of disassembling and reassembling your specific model number.
That should tell you if you missed anything.

The display is actually disassembled so i can do something now before to glue it. Maybe putting some little foam under the button
